infrared
technology
uncovers
hidden
termite
and
pest
activity
that
cannot
be
seen
by
the
naked
eye.
Here
are
just
a
few
examples:
In
the
infrared
image
above,
a
termite
infestation
is
seen
in
the
dark,
tube-like
track
descending
vertically
toward
the
bright
white
dot.
Note
the
large,
cotton-boll-shaped
pattern
that
begins
in
the
center
of
this
photo
and
extends
rightward.
This
is a
large
nest
of
Formosan
termites,
visible
only
through
infrared.
An
ordinary
view
of a
house
wall,
as
seen
by
the
naked
eye.
No
termite
damage
or
activity
is
evident
here
(see
next
picture).
In
this
infrared
view
of
the
same
wall,
the
dark
splotches
and
dark
vertical
lines
indicate
termite
activity
behind
the
wall
itself.
The
infestation
was
confirmed
and,
later,
visually
during
renovation
of
the
house
(see
next
picture).
After
the
wall
pictured
in
the
previous
two
pictures
was
torn
out,
the
termite
damage
was
plainly
evident.
The
white
areas
are
actually
mice
tunnels
surrounding
a
return
air
duct
inside
the
walls
of a
child’s
playroom
(upstairs).
These
tracks
would
go
undetected
in
an
ordinary
visual
inspection.
The
dark
area
in
the
center
of
this
picture
resembles
a
termite
infestation,
but
no
termites
were
indicated.
Further
investigation
showed
that
the
anomaly
was
due
to
poorly
installed
insulation.
